I am in the position to purchase some older cast iron pieces and was wondering if anyone could help me place an approximate value on some pieces.
The skillets I can buy are from a company called W J Loth Stove Company and the last skillet to sell on ebay was listed as a Buy it Now or Best Offer for $395. Here is the link:
Very RARE w J Loth Stove Co Virginia Metalcrafters Cast Iron Frying Pan 8 | eBay
Here is another piece from the same maker.
Vintage w J Loth Stove Co Waynesborg Virginia Cast Iron Basting Cover 8 | eBay
Does anyone know if those just happened to be valuable pieces or does the entire brand command a premium?
Looking into the company, they apparently became Virginia Metalcrafters (casting brass), and spun off their stove business which became Hotpoint in the 1920's.
Any help would be appreciated.
